Prodex FIREscape fire emergency light system
Two central security systems of a property, the fire alarms and emergency lighting have been integrated as an easy-to-use single solution with its own control panel. The basis for the implementation of the control centre was ease of use: it was designed for the integration of the emergency light system and fire alarm system. In a crisis, the intelligent system directs the people in the property out of the building along the safest route using guide lights equipped with changing symbols along the escape routes. The system can be networked to create a several centre solution using channel integration.
Prodex FIREscape offers significant cost savings already during planning and installation and throughout its life-cycle; maintenance, service operating costs when compared to traditional implementations. Significant cost savings are also achieved through the use of low-current wires, without forgetting low energy consumption.
The active system monitors everything ranging from the contamination levels of the fire detectors to the condition of the batteries and LEDs in the safety and escape lights. Prodex FIREscape offers users information on the condition of the system in a completely different way than current systems allowing for more targeted service and maintenance activities.
The next-generation fire emergency lighting system is suitable for all types of properties ranging from shopping centres to office buildings, industrial buildings and sites with special requirements. The benefits achieved with the Prodex FIREscape serve both the tenant and the authorities especially well in a crisis, due to their diverse range of functions. The system’s fire alarm system, fire detectors and emergency lighting fulfil the EN54 requirements and the emergency lights fulfil the EN standards set for them including standard EN50172.

Once centre, one wiring – two systems
Cost-efficient throughout its life-cycle
Light, cost-efficient wiring
Environmentally friendly
Additional security with guide lights with changing symbols
Allows fire detectors and emergency lights to be replaced in phases and using a diverse range of options
Guide lights with changing symbols improve evacuation efficiency
The guide lights with changing symbols indicate the safest escape route with normal green symbols and the less safe routes with red X symbols. The aforementioned advance the evacuation flow and increase safety as they direct people out of the building along the safest routes.
Directing to and using the safest escape route reduces smoke damage and injuries and prevents a potential fire from spreading. Avoiding a door along on unsafe escape route from being opened prevents harmful smoke from spreading from one fire compartment to another. Escaping through a smoke-filled area, such as a stairwell, should be avoided, because smoke gases are life-threatening and quickly render a person unconscious (Ministry of Interior / Rescue Services 2018).
